A Stepper Motor is one of the most common motors used to control mechanical machines such as printers, scanners and CNC Machines.

See also Servo Motor.

Bipolar Stepper Motor

Bipolar Motor Diagram

Bipolar motors typically come in a 4 wire configuration only, though a 5, 6 or 8 wire motor can also be wired as a Bipolar motor by leaving the inner coil lines unconnected.

Unipolar Stepper Motor

Unipolar Motor Diagram

Unipolar motors typically come in 5, 6 or 8 wire configurations, in all cases the inner wires of the coil are all wired to a common point.

A Unipolar Motor can be wired as a Bipolar Motor by leaving the Common lines unconnected.
